Beer at special events at designated places in Harriman may soon be a reality.

Previous attempts to have a special event permit allowance have failed due to public outcry.

A new ordinance, however, is much more specific.

“We outlined it this time,” said council member J.D. Sampson. “It can’t be sold on the sidewalks. It can’t be sold at the Labor Day festival. We took care to designate certain areas that may be of interest if some groups came in.”
